Ships that I Ship: Day 31: Eomer/Lothiriel

Canon: The Lord of the Rings
Pairing: Éomer/Lothíriel
Canon Level: Married

One day while looking for long fic, I came across one centered on Éomer and Lothíriel and while I didn't remember who Lothíriel was, it looked readable and Éomer was played by Karl Urban in the Peter Jackson movies. (My interest is easily piqued.) But then I looked up Lothíriel, and the reason I don't remember her is because she's barely in the books. Which, it turns out, leaves a lot of room for writers to invent a woman able to potentially hold Éomer's interest and earn his love. And that, in turn, can create some really great romance novel-style fic. So now I occasionally enjoy figuratively rolling around in the Éomer/Lothíriel longfic, despite how each Lothíriel is different.
